Get Yureka Plus or Xaiomi Mi 4i.

Apart of full HD thing, Moto G - 3rd generation is quite cool considering its quality in all field including imaging which is being ignored by all those powerful sub 10K devices. My few friends already bought it and are quite happy ..

Honor 6 is good. Its only con would be questionable android upgrade, Its still stuck in KK, i guess

i read mostly it'll be priced 20-25k in india, though i hope it is priced close to 15k

Stuck between Mi4i (32gb) and honor 6.. honor 6 has an advantage of expandable memory and 3gb ram over the first one..

Direct conversion leads to a price of 19k, so i guess it would be launched at 22-25k

3GB RAM is not a deal breaker according to me. 2GB RAM is sufficient for everything that you can do with your smartphone(you won't be playing 2 games simultaneously). I think 32GB (25GB) should be sufficient for most people in the world today. 2 years ago, i was fine with 16GB (13GB)

For those requirement both Honor 6 & Mi4i are good.

Mi4i has the advantage of being a dual SIM phone, with future upgrades (MIUI version upgrades)

Honor 6 has better screen on time(source: GSMArena) but future upgrades are questionable & is single SIM

Zenfones don't have a great camera

Other companies use Sony sensor compared to Toshiba one in ASUS

Don't know what K3 Note uses but not Sony one, i guess..... Still its a good phone at 10k

I would still pick mi4i and today it is available in a few more colors.

Mi4i has heating issues.
My pick to G3 or refurb OPO at 16k from valuekart/overkart

Not true
It might heat up more than G3 but nowhere near Mi4 & N4 levels...Mi4i heating issue is over exaggerated

B

Mi 4i (32gb), honor 6, mi 4, j7 or anything else? Budget 15k.
Photography
Performance
Battery
Are the priorities.
Please advice. List my mobile. Strict budget of 15k.

Xperia Z1 from Amazon @ 17k
or
Mi4i 32GB

M

+1 for mi4i if camera is priority.

mi4i is actually a level up with it's camera processing software.

B

Thanks. Is the camera in 4i is better than 4? Just read somewhere the low light performance is pretty average on 4i compared to 4. Please guide.

^^ To answer your question - NO! Mi 4 has a better camera than Mi 4i. But the point is for 13k Mi 4i offers the best camera. If you want a phone within 10k I would suggest Meizu M2 Note (do check the reviews by digit & GSMArena) - its an all round performer. For 15k - go for Mi 4
